Traore held his own against Man United but his team-mates under-performed

The 21-year-old started 22 league games in Holland last season and scored nine goals and the Mirror claims he has caught the eye of Slaven Bilic.

The Burkina Faso star – who made his international debut aged just 15 – has not played for Chelsea since May 2016 and he might be moved on before he can add to his ten Premier League Blues appearances.

Everton are also keeping an eye on the youngster and they have a strong bargaining chip with Romelu Lukaku if they get to negotiations.

Across Europe, Lille, Lyon and Schalke are also interested in the forward who said – after losing to Manchester United in the Euro final – he wanted to prove himself at Stamford Bridge.
